Second Floor Common Room [evening]

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam had spent the afternoon in her room drawing, and, being bored, had drawn a little glue over her sketch and sprinkled it with the glitter Jim had given her.

A short while later, Pam the cocker spaniel went bounding into the common room in search of someone who would feed her! Or play catch! Or scritch behind her ears!

For now, she was curled up on the couch (she was pretty sure that was Not Allowed but no humans were around to stop her) and poking her paw at the little thing that the humans used to make the box light up.

[So, Pam's been glittered. She thinks she's a cocker spaniel. She will act like a dog until the glitter wears off, yes, but she still...is Pam. And very human. Mwahahaha. Open, as common rooms are.]

Irulan smiled when she saw Pam. "Hello, Pam."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam barked joyfully at her.

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

Irulan stared. "Did you just bark at me?"

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam barked again, lolling her head slightly.

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

"Um, Pam?" Irulan said tentatively, "Are you well?"

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam yipped and pawed slightly at the air, panting a little.

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

Barking, yipping and pawing. Great Mother did she think she was... "Pam, are you a dog?"

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam didn't know English, so she just barked.

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

She approached Pam warily, "Have you been bitten?"

Jim walked down to the common room and spotted Pam laying down on the couch. He decided to stop by and bug her. "Hey," he said.

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam barked happily at him.

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

Jim blinked. "Pam?"

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam barked again, pawing slightly at the air as she did so.

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Wait," Jim said. "Do you actually think you're a dog?"

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam, being a dog, didn't understand English. So she just made a whiny noise that was supposed to mean, "I would like my ears scritched now plz."

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

Jim didn't understand dog, especially not in a human accent. "Aww. I'll be right back."

Jim left for a couple minutes, then returned with a camera. "You're going to hate me for this when you're back to normal, but you'd do the same to me. Smile!"

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam looked curiously at the camera and responded by barking and panting.

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

Jim took a picture. "Any clue what happened to you?" Jim asked. "Not that I really expect you to answer."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam attempted to scratch her ear with her foot.

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

That was a picture. "That's adorable, really," Jim teased. "You're just lucky I'm not meaner or you'd have a bowl of something by now."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam responded by barking and sitting back on her haunches, panting.

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

Jim patted Pam on her head. "I fully realize that you will get me back for this, but I can't resist."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam nosed at his hand, attempting to smell whether he was a Good Person.

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"That tickles," Jim said, laughing a little.

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam barked once more and pawed a little curiously at the remote again.

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"What's that, girl? You want to watch something?" Jim asked.

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam just barked.

Angela, who thought she was Marie Antoinette, had finished all of the chocolate she could find in the third-floor common room and went to roam through the dorm hallways. She noticed more people on the second floor.

//Pardon me,// she began, in French. //I seem to be lost?//

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam barked a greeting.

[chasingangela]

Marie Antoinette frowned. She understood English, sort of, but this was beyond her.

Tentative but polite, she barked back.

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam tilted her head. Humans didn't make that noise!

She barked again.

[chasingangela]

For all Marie Antoinette knew, this was the appropriate greeting. She repeated her bark, tagging on a "Bonjour?"

And took a seat on the floor, trying to ape Pam's posture without messing up her dress.

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam was confused, but whatever! She yipped and tried to sniff the human person who was acting weird.

[chasingangela]

Marie swallowed her little shrieking noise and stood quickly. No one sniffed the queen.

//Are you a fool?// she asked in French. //You may speak.//

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam barked.

[chasingangela]

Marie Antoinette was getting pissed. //Stand up, speak//, she ordered, repeating herself in German and in English just in case. //Are you stupid? Is this an asylum?//

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam whimpered and covered her face with her paws.

[chasingangela]

That made Marie Antoinette feel sad for the ... fool-dog-girl, who was making a noise that reminded her of Mops. She plopped back on the floor.

//Come here, come here,// she said gently, unwrapping a candy she had saved. //I have a chocolate for you, poor thing.//

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam tilted her head, peeking out, and yipped curiously.

[chasingangela]

"Chocolate," the queen repeated, holding it in the palm of her hand. "C'est pour toi?"

She really missed her dogs, and this girl seemed close enough.
